why dress up as a villain

Chapter 133 Warmth
After returning to Hou Mansion, it was already late at night.

Le Qi had just stepped over the gate of the Hou Mansion, when she raised her head suddenly, she saw Princess Yong'an and a group of maids standing inside the gate waiting for her.

Seeing Le Qi's return, the hidden worry on Princess Yong'an's face finally subsided.She greeted Le Qi eagerly and took Le Qi's hand, first looked Le Qi up and down, and then complained a little: "It was agreed to just take a look, why did you go out of the house again?"

Her palm is warm, and the temperature has a feeling that Le Qi is familiar with, just like her embrace when she was a child.

Seeing that she stood there for a while, Le Qi felt very guilty. She took Princess Yong'an's hand and persuaded gently: "You follow me in first, it's cool outside."

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Princess Yong'an's face was actually touched. She squeezed Le Qi's hand, and looked at Le Qi with a slight twinkle in her eyes, as if tears were in her eyes.

There was a pause, and the time was quiet for a while, but Princess Yong'an suddenly said softly and softly: "Xia'er has really grown up, and she knows how to care about her mother."

But in fact, Le Qi felt a little overwhelmed when she saw Princess Yong'an's gentle eyes. She coughed lightly, looked away, and pretended to look at the corridor in front of her in a natural manner, but her heart was beating a little fast.

Princess Yong'an simply didn't speak anymore, she let Le Qi hold her arms, and the two walked through the carved corridor together, the mottled tree shadows became clear under the moonlight, reflected on the faces of the mother and daughter, facing the peaceful Hou Mansion, it looked extraordinarily quiet and warm.

Entering the hall, Le Qi couldn't help but feel a little surprised that she didn't see the scumbag father Luo Tianfeng.She asked Princess Yong'an: "Where's dad?"

Princess Yong'an sat on the carved armchair supported by Le Qi, and explained according to Le Qi's words: "Someone from the palace summoned him away. Your father told me that the fire broke out in Yuehui Academy. The emperor ordered the military officers guarding the capital to come to the palace to discuss how to apprehend the murderer."

When Le Qi heard what she said, her heart skipped a beat, didn't Zhu Li put out the fire?Didn't Zhu Li catch the murderer? Why did he summon the courtiers into the palace overnight?
Isn't it that simple?
Speaking of which, Le Qi really didn't know how the Yuehui Academy caught fire, but she saw that Zhu Li put out the fire easily, so she naturally thought that the Yuehui Academy's fire was just a trivial matter, but... now it seems that it is not that simple.

After all, the military generals guarding the capital are all monks with cultivation base. It is unusual to call monks into the palace to discuss matters.

Seeing that Le Qi hadn't spoken for a long time, Princess Yong'an couldn't help asking worriedly: "Xia'er, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Le Qi regain her senses.

Looking at Princess Yong'an's worried expression, she suddenly thought about Granny Cui she saw outside Hou's mansion, and what she had eavesdropped in Princess Yong'an's house, and then her thoughts became confused.

She always felt that something was about to happen, because from the moment she stepped into the Hou's mansion, she was always a little uneasy.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, until the moon was already in the middle of the sky, Le Qi accompanied Princess Yong'an back to the yard, and then returned to her own yard.

A nanny who has been following Princess Yong'an came to take care of her with maids and maidservants. What made Le Qi feel relieved was that after so many years, the furnishings in her room hadn't changed at all.

The nanny seemed to see Le Qi's surprise, and explained when combing her hair: "The eldest lady has been away from the house for so many years, the madam has sent someone to clean the lady's house every day, and she has ordered the servants not to change the furnishings in the house... Whenever the madam thinks of the lady, she will come here to sit, as if the lady is still there."

"...When the madam received a letter from Xianmen saying that the young lady was going to clean up the fairy gate, the madam was both happy and sad. She sat alone in the young lady's room that day..."

Hearing these words, recalling the haggard and tender face of Princess Yong'an when she first met, Le Qi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and almost couldn't help herself, she asked nanny jerky: "These years... How is my mother?"

Seemingly not expecting Le Qi to ask such a question, Mammy was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly sighed inexplicably.

"Madam has been getting weaker and weaker for some reason over the years, and she is always prone to sleepiness. A few days ago, Master Hou invited someone to take Madam's pulse. It seems that the person's expression... the situation seems to be a little pessimistic."

Having said this, Mammy suddenly stopped talking, she knelt down in front of Le Qi in fear, and apologized: "I didn't intend to curse Madam, please do not blame me, Miss."

Seeing her body trembling, Le Qi could only suppress the doubts in her heart, and said to her: "You go down first."

After everyone in the room retreated, Le Qi thought for a moment quietly, and secretly made up her mind that she must ask Bai Mo to take the pulse of Princess Yong'an in a few days.

In fact, if her spiritual veins were not blocked and her cultivation level was almost exhausted, Le Qi could have controlled the spiritual energy in her body to detect the pulse of Princess Yong'an, but now, she really couldn't do it.

After making up her mind, Le Qi suddenly remembered the spirit dew given by Bai Mo.

She took out the slender white bottle and put it on the table, poured a small glass, but saw that the liquid in the glass was clear and colorless, no different from water.

Le Qi drank it suspiciously, and suddenly a pungent smell of wine hit the taste buds on the tip of her tongue, and she couldn't help frowning.

Damn!What is wine!

Reluctantly swallowing eight drinks, Le Qi lowered her head and leaned on the table to cough a few times, her face burning with pain.

Thinking of Bai Mo's words, Le Qi felt cheated, the spirit dew that was promised to be effective for her wounds came, how did it turn into wine! !
Must ask clearly!
Holding the cup, Le Qi gritted her teeth.

In the early morning of the next day, Le Qi just walked out of the house after washing, and saw Princess Yong'an with a group of maids standing under the corridor in her yard.

The moment she saw Princess Yong'an who was formally and luxuriously dressed, Le Qi was a little dazed, she stepped forward and asked flatteredly: "Mother, are you here so early, are you waiting for me on purpose?"

Princess Yong'an took Le Qi's hand, and she smiled with a very gentle expression: "Don't Xia'er believe that mother is waiting for you? You have been away from the mansion for so long, and now you have finally returned to the mansion. Naturally, I wish you could follow my mother every day, and come to your yard earlier to wait for you. I just want to see you sooner."

These words warmed Le Qi's heart, and she had to say that Princess Yong'an's words made her feel a sense of home, her heart was warm, and her originally heavy mood in front of Princess Yong'an became joyful.

Afterwards, Princess Yong'an dragged Le Qi around the Hou Mansion.

"There was a lotus pond opened the year before last, and a new pavilion was built on it. Last year, the pond was full of lotus flowers in full bloom. Unfortunately, it's winter now, and Xia'er can't see the scene of lotus blooming."

"Here, you should remember that when you were young, whenever you got angry, you liked to hide in the rockery by yourself, and let the people in the house find out. Mother always knew that you were hiding there, but Mother never told anyone..."

A bit of cool wind blew, Princess Yong'an and Le Qi were sitting in the pavilion, listening to Princess Yong'an's words, a stubborn and arrogant little girl gradually appeared in her mind.

Le Qi tilted her head and secretly looked at Princess Yong'an, only to see that when she talked about Luo Jiuxia's childhood, her expression was very gentle, the corners of her mouth unconsciously smiled, and her beautiful eyebrows faded from the harshness of the past, appearing extremely gentle.

"Xia'er... all these years, mother has always regretted..."
